Popis:	In a survey of 380 physicians—representing 95 per cent of those practicing in a district of a large metropolitan area—it was found that the cancer detection procedures were much better than anticipated. However, the data indicates that the practice of teaching breast self-examination and of doing proctoscopy examinations on asymptomatic patients, needs further emphasis. Results showed that 28 per cent of physicians were not teaching self-examination of the breast to their patients; of those physicians doing proctoscopies more than half did not do them routinely.
